Up next is another little stall that proves that looks can be deceiving. Located in the back lane of Jalan Dang Wangi, (near the famous Yut Kee coffee shop) Asyiq’s Mee Rebus is pretty easy to miss ? One of the oldest hawker stalls in near the Dang Wangi LRT station, this deceivingly small stall is actually locally famous for their flavour-packed ‘mee rebus’ (literally translated to ‘boiled noodle dish’ from Malay) and their fantastic rojak Mamak ?.
One of the must try dishes includes the ‘Mee Rebus Sotong’ which features spicy and tender squid, with halved hard-boiled eggs, tofu and potato cubes, bean sprouts, fried shallots and sliced green chilli. Paired with a tall glass of ‘teh tarik’ (pulled tea), you’ll be craving for second servings ?!

Roti John Titiwangsa
As one of the most popular street food in Malaysia, get your fix of Roti John at Roti John Titiwangsa and sink your teeth into a delicious omelette sandwich ? Offering a variety of fillings such as chicken, beef, tuna and chicken chop, drop by this humble road side stall where you can expect a long line of people waiting to have a taste of some of the best Roti John there is in town. For an additional RM3, take your Roti John to the next level by ordering extra cheese! While Roti John Titiwangsa operates from 4PM-11.30PM, the stall closes down when they're all sold out, a likely situation since they're a popular local eat.

3. R.A Nasi Lemak
If there’s one dish that Malaysians are crazy about, it’s Nasi Lemak (steamed coconut rice) ? Despite being nothing more than a humble hawker stall, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that R.A Nasi Lemak is one of the capitals most established Nasi Lemak joints. Based in Kampung Baru, it’s located close to the entrance of the Dang Wangi LRT station and is often times quite packed. The main attraction of this quaint, self-service style stall has definitely got to be its classic Nasi Lemak with spicy sambal. But, if you’re not too big of a fan of plain sambal or if you just want to try switching it up a little, there are also several alternative side dishes that you choose from; such as sambal sotong (squid), flavourful chicken rendang or perfectly seasoned ‘paru goreng’ (fried lungs). All of which are incredibly tasty ?! Halal status: Muslim-owned Opening hours: Mon-Fri; 6.30AM-3PM, Sat-Sun; 6.30AM-12PM Address: 5, Jalan Raja Abdullah, Kampung Baru, 50300 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Contact: +6017-652-0059 Facebook4.
